Domain Name Strategies and Best Practices to Advertise and Grow Your Business.
March 15, 2020, seems like it was last year when, in fact, it was only 90 days ago.
As I type this very sentence, I realize that it’s been even longer, 6 months exactly to this day, since I last posted on this blog. WOW!
Nevertheless, we, the global population, were once as free as could be, to a certain extent, some 90+ days ago.
A few nights ago, a customer and long-time friends of my wife and I treated us to a double date of the Long Center presented Georgia On My Mind: A Celebration of Ray Charles and His Music.
The night was a walk down memory lane of Ray Charles’ catalog of greatest hits performed by highly esteemed, award-winning artists and musicians — Clint Holmes, Nnenna Freelon, Tom Scott, and Take 6.
Each month I’m amazed to discover a small but growing number of Austin-based companies branding domains using new top-level extensions — the good, bad, and ugly.
Rummaging through the last 6 editions of the Community Impact Newsletter (CIN )for Northwest Austin, I’ve discovered breweries, pet shops, fitness brands, summer camps, and entertainment venues among the early adopters.
While the 100+ degree temperatures here in Texas say otherwise, summer is nearing an end as kids head back to school.
The House of Brown certainly had a jam-packed summer of trips to Typhoon Texas, Fort Worth Zoo, Disney World in Florida, and Asheville, North Carolina.
Between all the fun and memories made, I managed to capture a few interesting domain names being used, especially those used by churches.
While driving to a wedding and admiring the beautiful and scenic views of the Texas Hill Country not far from the hustle and bustle of Interstate 35, an unusual billboard promoting a .live domain caught my eye.
I often encounter dozens of billboards traveling, whether for personal or business, throughout central Texas.
However, the billboard I encountered this day caught my eye because of how low it was to the ground, right at eye level, made of wood and not the normal big-box steel used by the bigger outdoor advertising firms.
By now you should know I frequent Rudy’s weekly to experience the greatest Texas cuisine a gas station can offer: breakfast tacos.
And while I’m often in a mad dash to taste and partake of bacon, egg, and cheese, or potato, egg, and cheese tacos, I can’t help but to get sidetracked by Rudy’s Bulletin Board. ?
As I scanned the board to discover any unique domains to write about, this given day in January my scanning was rewarded to find a band debuting its new album via a .BAND domain.
While grabbing a bite to eat with a partner, catching up on business and personal updates, yesterday, I stumbled upon an interesting domain sighting for an Austin-based organization dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding new music since 2001.
This renown non-profit organization’s, New Music Co-op, poster likely wouldn’t have caught my eye as not much stuck out about it to me except for their domain using the .coop extension.
For real, I thought their poster was a a domain typo, having not known .coop is a bonafide domain extension. ?
